Rikaku-an Teahouse, Jakko-in Temple

Separated from its garden by a bamboo fence and a carefully tended hedge, Rikaku-an teahouse occupies a small area in the northwest corner of the temple’s grounds. Named after Rikaku-in Temple, which once stood on this site, it was constructed at the request of a Jikko-in chief priest. Craftsmen used timber from the surrounding hills, including Japanese cypress, which serves as the main pillar of the teahouse.

The entrance is small, designed to ensure that guests bow as they enter and that samurai leave their swords outside. In keeping with the temple’s rural location, there is also a hook on the exterior for gardening or farming implements.

Inside, the floor is covered in tatami mats, except for a small section serving as the hearth. A scroll hangs in the alcove (tokonoma) above a flower arrangement. Both are changed according to the season.

The development of the Way of Tea (chanoyu or sado) was heavily influenced by Zen Buddhism. It is recognized as one of the three classical forms of Japanese artistic refinement, alongside incense appreciation and flower arrangement.

The teahouse is used several times a year for formal tea events, though these are privately organized and not open to the general public.

茶室理覺庵（實光院）

理覺庵位於實光院西北角的一隅，與庭園之間以竹柵欄和樹籬相隔。茶室名取自曾建於此地的理覺院。理覺庵應實光院原住持的要求興建，所用木材均來自附近山林，柱子採用日本扁柏。

茶室入口低矮狹小的設計，是為了表達茶室內眾人平等之理念。任何人入室時只能低身彎腰，武士必須將刀留在室外。因實光院位於郊外，茶室外還設有挂鉤，供懸掛園藝工具和農具。茶室內鋪墊榻榻米，內嵌有茶釜，壁龕內茶花的上方則掛著與季節和慶典相應的字畫。

日本的茶道深受禪宗的影響，與品香的「香道」和賞花的「花道」一起被稱為日本三大古典藝術。

理覺庵每年會多次舉辦正式的茶道活動。不過，由於是私人茶會，故不向公眾開放。
